A little light on the details.

Support that gives you back time and peace of mind.

About

Support you can count on.

Running a business alone means wearing every hat, including the ones that pull you away from the work you actually started your business to do. That's where I come in.

I bring nearly two decades of experience managing the details that keep organizations running, from client and vendor relationships to budgets, complex processes, and logistics across international programs. I've worked as a director, an office manager, a sales support specialist, an international program coordinator, and more, so I don't just check tasks off a list, I understand how the pieces fit together.

I'm Spanish bilingual and bring a steady, relationship-first approach to every client I work with.

My goal is simple: you won't have to follow up twice, wonder if something got done, or keep track of every moving piece. That's the kind of support I aim to provide: steady, dependable, and out of your way.

Let's talk about what's on your plate

Services

What I can take off your plate

Whether I'm communicating with your clients, coordinating with vendors, or organizing your backend, my goal is always the same: represent your business with professionalism and care.

Client onboarding & correspondence

Agreements, intake forms, and organized client communication from day one.

Inbox management

Reading, writing, filtering, and organizing your email.

Calendar & appointment management

Scheduling, confirmations, and reminders to keep you on track.

Light bookkeeping support

Invoice tracking, expense organization, and tax-season prep.

Document support

Proofreading, meeting minutes, resumes, and polished documents.

Internet & general research

Quick answers on vendors, competitors, or anything else you need.

Newsletter & content support

Drafting newsletters and keeping up with blog comments.

Event & travel coordination

Planning event logistics, plus flights, hotels, and bookings.

Personal & miscellaneous tasks

Gifts, thank-you notes, bill pay, and the small stuff that adds up.

Worth Noticing

Sound familiar?

Checking email after 8pm "just to be sure."

A lead or follow-up that slipped through the cracks.

A weekend spent on catch-up admin work instead of rest.

If a couple of these feel familiar, that's worth paying attention to.

Testimonials

What people say about working with me

"Kathleen is truly the most organized and efficient person I have had the opportunity to work with. When Kathleen is working on a project, I trust her to get the job done right. I love the peace of mind I feel when working with her!"
Melissa V.Adjunct Assistant Professor
"As Kathleen's former employer, I had the opportunity to see firsthand what a tremendous asset she was to our team. Kathleen handled order support and a variety of administrative responsibilities with exceptional attention to detail, focus, and reliability. What stood out most was her willingness to always help find a better way of doing things. She was proactive, thoughtful, and never afraid to ask questions or suggest improvements that made our processes more efficient. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a virtual assistant they can trust."

FAQ

Questions before you get started

How do we communicate?+

Mostly async, through whatever works best for you: email, Slack, or a quick call when something needs more back-and-forth. We'll set expectations for response times during onboarding so you always know when to expect an update.

What if I need more hours?+

No problem. Hours beyond your package are billed at $45/hr for Spark and Glow, $40/hr for Radiate, or if you're consistently needing more, we can talk about moving you into a bigger package, including custom packages for businesses needing more than 40 hours a month.

Do you work in my software?+

In most cases, yes. I work within the tools you're already using rather than asking you to switch systems. We'll cover your specific setup during onboarding to confirm.

What happens if my priorities change?+

Retainers are built to flex. If what you need shifts month to month, just let me know. We'll adjust where your hours go without starting the relationship over.

What types of businesses do you work with?+

Primarily coaches, consultants, and wedding or event planners, plus solo entrepreneurs newly on their own after leaving a corporate role. If you're used to having admin support and suddenly don't, or you've never had it and are drowning without it, that's exactly who I work with.

Can you work with my clients?+

Yes. Client-facing tasks like onboarding, scheduling, and correspondence are part of what I offer, always in your voice and to your standards.

Do unused hours roll over?+

Unused hours don't roll over month to month, so retainers are priced to reflect the hours actually reserved for you. If you're consistently using fewer hours than your package includes, let's talk about right-sizing your plan.

How quickly do you respond?+

Response times are part of what we'll set during onboarding, based on your package and needs. But you'll always know what to expect, so you're never left wondering.
